#SaveMayowa: How Family Of Young Lady Suffering From Stage 4 Cancer Used Her To Scam Nigerians
In a very shocking turn or events, it has been revealed that the family of Mayowa Ahmed, the young lady whom Nigerians helped raised $100,000 scammed Nigerians.
According to LIB, Mayowa is really sick. She truly has Ovarian cancer. She’s admitted at LUTH but she didn’t need money for surgery, because doctors had told Mayowa she was beyond treatment and no hospital in the world could treat her as she was extremely far gone.
Mayowa had reached stage 4 and doctors, unfortunately, already told her family she won’t survive it and had advised them to take her home.
Her family instead used her situation to raise money from Nigerians. The doctors in LUTH have also denied giving her family a medical report advising her to seek treatment abroad.
Toyin Aimakhu, who was one of those who spearheaded the fundraising, as you read this, is at LUTH right now with police officers. Some people also went to the family’s home and the place is locked up.
#SaveMayowa raised over $100k on GoFundMe and millions of Naira. The sad part is that this is the kind of news that will in future deterr many Nigerians from helping those who really need help.
God help us in this country.
It is well…
Funnily, the first time I saw the whole stuff on bbm, it crossed my mind that it could be a scam…Nigerians will never stop being Nigerians
All of this could have been avoided by first reaching out to the family instead of rushing to post. Blogspls try and verify things before posting . At the end of the day this young lady who has already been through so much was just put through more unnecessary pain. Please let everyone just pray for Mayowa and her family and leave it at that . Thank you very much for this. I wonder how people fail to see that her reporting it may actually have ensured that the money is used for Mayowa s purposes.
